DS1820 low res temperature readings

The resolution to be used is an mcsTempeature.ini file edit. I think I updated the manual to show this, but I don't recall if the manual with the updates are in the updater. My recollection is that the default is full resolution for the device. I did a search on this board but it did not pop out. I'm traveling so I dont have access to the manual. The [Devices] group in mcsTempertaure has a Key/Value for each sensor. The properties contained in the Value include the resolution parameter as the last comma-separated entry. I think 3 is minimum resolution and 0 is max. This is from memory so it may not be totally correct.

All the temperature devices appear to be set to high res.

Hi Michael

Below is an example of a system startup, then the 2nd set of readings from the network. The high res temperatures from the DS1820's is derived by math.
The DS1820 has 'scratch pad' of 8-bytes that can be read back from the device. In the scratch pad are the temperature LSB and MSB and down the list are the count_remain and count_per_C. It is these two values which are used with the temperature LSB and MSB to produce the reading in a higher resolution.


<TABLE border=1><CAPTION>ScratchPad</CAPTION><TBODY><TR><TH>Byte</TH><TH>Register</TH></TR><TR><TD>0</TD><TD>Temperature_LSB</TD></TR><TR><TD>1</TD><TD>Temperature_MSB</TD></TR><TR><TD>2</TD><TD>Temp Alarm High / User Byte 1</TD></TR><TR><TD>3</TD><TD>Temp Alarm Low / User Byte 2</TD></TR><TR><TD>4</TD><TD>Reserved</TD></TR><TR><TD>5</TD><TD>Reserved</TD></TR><TR><TD>6</TD><TD>Count_Remain</TD></TR><TR><TD>7</TD><TD>Count_per_C</TD></TR><TR><TD>8</TD><TD>CRC</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Temperature = Temp_read - 0.25 + ((Count_per_C - Count_Remain)/Count_per_C)

Where Temp_read = The value from the temp_MSB and temp_LSB with the least significant bit removed (the 0.5C bit)

I'm aware of the scratchpad, but I use owapi to provide the interface between VB and the hardware and owapi does not provide a method to access these elements of the state array. I've gone directly to the adapter to push bits for the the 1-wire LCD text interface, but I prefer to keep it at the functional level rather than the bit level.

I made an attempt to direclty access the byte array scratchpad elements returned by owapi, but I do not know if it will generate a run time error or if the owapi com interface maps into 8, 16, or 32 bit boundries for the 8 element array.

Give the attached a try and see what happens. I'm on the road so I cannot try it myself right now.

Hi Michael


Thank you for your effects, it is not there yet. It may be better waiting till you get back home where you will have more resources at hand.
